Some Think Kasich Is Getting Serious About Presidential Run

Governor Kasich has been in early voting states like New Hampshire and South Carolina lately, talking about his economic plans - he's among 19 high profile Republicans at a summit in New Hampshire this weekend. And there's a new fund that's been set up with Ohio's Secretary of State to take in campaign donations.

University of Cincinnati Political Science Professor David Niven says these are tell tale signs that Kasich has higher aspirations.

Niven: "At minimum, it really suggests that he wants to take a look and see if it's feasible."

Kasich is scheduled to be on the NBC Sunday talk show "Meet the Press" this weekend.
